Naruto's POV
"Damn, you are still lying on the bed?" Says Kakashi as he came to me giving me a white shirt that is going to be suitable for me to go to the court. Today the murderer of my parents is going to be sentenced. This case was opened after so many days and now being pressured by the upper influence they were forced to make a move.
Everyone is gathered including Fugaku Uchiha himself too. I see him heading inside his car ignoring the small crowd around him and Mikoto Uchiha follows me too right after giving me a cunning smile.
"Everything is going to be alright." Says Kakashi as he keeps rubbing on my shoulder. I didn't think Sasuke and Itachi would go there but surprisingly they are with their father in that car and heading to the same place as us.
I was holding Kakashi's hand as he was leading me to the big hall room. Kakashi says,"I suggest you to not to go inside." I frown as I ask him,"Why?" Kakashi says,"It could be a bit harder for you."
Before I could argue anymore, Obito says taking my side surprisingly,"I think he should go, Kakashi. Otherwise this case will loose it's entire point. All of it is for Naruto to see, that's what Mr. Uchiha said."
Making our way into the court with so less people, I see the judge being seated above everyone. I'm eager to see the murderer. Somehow I'm terrified. Would I loose my sanity even after trying so hard to keep myself sane for so long?
What will I do when I will get to see that heartless bastard? I don't know. My mind is blank. Only a strong urge to kill the murderer is overwhelming me. I'm repeating a mantra to keep myself cool. I never knew I was a hot headed person until now.
Suddenly a announcement echoes through the big hall, about the culprit coming in. I balled my fist and Kakashi is constantly observing my every expression and movement as if I'm a animal that needs to be kept in check.
Sasuke isn't far away from me, Itachi is closer too but my gaze is fixated on the man in suit as if they caught him red handed from his work place. Why is he in a better form? As if they are giving him the best treatments? I can't stand this already.
My legs are shaking in nervousness as two layers kept arguing continuously. The man's head is up as if he's the most prideful person in this hall.
"I took my revenge. For that man, I lost my whole family. Minato Namikaze had a connection with the underworld. He was loosing money and loosing everything to the powerful group. As his secretary I managed everything and he got in touch with a underground lord. He took billions as loans. But proving his predictions wrong as his investments failed to make profit, he was failing to pay the exact amount and the interest due in time. And all the pressure was upon me being their link of connection. One day coming back home I found my wife who was pregnant and children dead and all of it was done as a way to threaten Mr. Namikaze. I felt anger and sorrow that loosing my family meant nothing but a way of threaten someone. This is the reason for me to kill Mr. Namikaze and his wife. All the documents are included." It was a confession from the man who should be the murderer.
That was a letter that man handed to the detective who was working to solve the case and in my hand there is the piece of copy of the actual letter that is kept as a solid proof.
This case hasn't ended because it is far from being solved. That man who was the actual culprit was following the order of the underground lord. This case is far more complicated than I predicted.
I feel sorrow and rage toward the man at the same time. We both know how it feels to loose the entire family and see the bloodied bodies of our beloved persons. But nothing justifies the crime he had done. I still want him to die in the most painful way.
The investigation will be continued and the man will be sent to the prison. The man is still not sentenced and will be held captive until police catches the actual mastermind.
"The chance of arresting the underground lord is low." Kakashi says as we both felt despair. It's been years since the police has been trying to catch the whole organisation but they failed. This case will remain unsolved and I took a mental note that I will let it go. This wound won't ever be dried off.
We came back home after the event. I thought Fugaku Uchiha will leave right away but he's standing right here, in front of me. As if he knows I have something to say. Well he guessed it right. I have a lot to say.
"I have something to say Mr. Uchiha." I said as I looked up surprisingly being full with courage. I feel nothing toward this man at this point. I shouldn't feel rage, I shouldn't feel anything.
As a businessman he tried everything to defeat his rival who was happened to be my father. He wasn't the one who ordered to kill my parents. He did what he had to do. I can't expect anything from a Uchiha.
"Let's end this Mr. Uchiha." I said. He looks at me as he guessed what I had to say. He let me say every word I had to say. He just stood there like a brick wall but that brick wall had ears and he was listening everything without budging.
"I appreciate your help and everything you did for me. You were feeling responsible and helped to find the murderer and kept your words. You gave me a shelter and even gave me protection. But this should be the end. Now that you did what was there to be done, I wish to be free. I don't want to come here anymore." I said as if it was something I memorized from a book.
"If this is what you want." This is all he had said. It was the hint for me to pack everything and leave. This should be the end of our journey. Mikoto Uchiha smiles as she always does. She says,"Naruto kun is so heartless. Now that he got to see the culprit, he's cutting all the ties."
I tell her,"This journey started because of my father. For him we met. Now that he isn't here, we shouldn't keep going like this. Nothing is same as before." In response she just kept her signature smile as if she's aware about my future too. I hate her eagle eyes.
I was determined to leave today. My presence isn't even welcomed here. Now that I'm free, I will be able to do everything. After graduating, I'll leave that city too and this time nobody will be able to find me.
I'll remove my way to find Sasuke again. I'll do it so that even if I suffer for his touch, for his affection, I won't still be able to reach him. Dying this way will be fine too.I was packing everything I took here. This will be my last visit.
"So you are leaving." I heard his voice. I turned immediately as my heart dropped. He's still in his suit and standing there with that cold look of his. I let out a smile. I still will have to see him in school.
I tell him,"Yeah." Sasuke says,"You look happy. Is this what you have always wanted?" I nodded. This isn't all. I wanted you too. Sasuke chuckles mockingly. He says,"Well Naruto, you got everything you wanted."
Did I really get everything? "The murderer of your parents got caught by the police, you freed yourself from this prison, you set a war between me and my brother. You got your revenge too. I sure have to hand it to you." Saying that he claps his hands laughing.
I tell him,"Don't make this even hard that is already is." Sasuke says,"How is it hard for you? You should celebrate instead. The actual mastermind was you. You know what? I'll never forgive you."
I feel my heart being hammered and being shattered at the same time. Was I that much cruel? I only wanted them to see suffer because I was suffering too. All these years, my wounds were growing bigger and now it's like there is a big, wide hole in my chest that is not even curable.
I still said,"What can I do to earn your forgiveness?" I just wanted him to forgive me. But that surely won't fix our relationship and I don't actually want that to happen too. This is way better even though it's hard. We are not really meant to be together.
Sasuke's lips formed into a bitter smile. He says,"You want my forgiveness? How cruel." Saying that he kept staring at me. At one point he said,"Well Naruto. I just want you to keep remembering me. Keep suffering because of the painful memory. Remember what you did. Remember that, there is someone who hates you too much that he wants to break you."
He comes closer and I'm froze at that spot. He comes really closer. He says,"You changed my whole life Naruto. I'll remember you for the rest of my life and you do that too." Saying that he closed the gap. After so long I felt his lips on mine but that touch wasn't full of affection. It was rather filled with rage and hatred.
